I started with a base of--the now discontinued--Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White and let that dry.

Next, I laid down some stripping tape and made a gradient using Sinful Colors Snow Me White and a mixture of Dazzle Dry Rapid Red and Wet n Wild Fast Dry Everybody Loves Redmond.

Finally, after applying a top coat I applied the glitter that looks a whole lot like Mickey Mouse (or the covalent bond of H2O, your call). I had a little difficulty with getting the glitter to lay flat with just top coat, but after I used a little nail glue the problem was quickly solved.
